Casamigos is anticipated to be sold at a "reasonable price point" reports 213Nightlife, and the two have been enjoying the adult beverage for a few years now.

“I don’t think we’re going to be following all the rules,” Gerber said. “We know we have a product we love and we drink, and other people will enjoy. The product speaks for itself.”

Gerber is also planning to release a brand on rum called Caliche, which is expected to grace stores with its presence within the next few weeks.

Other than the aforementioned information, not much else is publicly known about Gerber and Clooney's endeavor.
